HISTORY COME ALIVE Jaeger-LeCoultre and Casa Fagliano have made a fitting anniversary edition of the iconic Reverso. Words Bhanu Chopra Jaeger-LeCoultre is known for setting the gold standard of expert craftsmanship, refinement and the rare gift of timeless appeal. The Reverso is perhaps their most notable model, bringing an ingenious solution to a common problem for sporting gentlemen who found that their wristwatches were not up to their strenuous games of polo. Jaeger-LeCoultre rose to the challenge and in 1931 designed the unique mechanism that allowed the dial of the watch to be reversed into the case to protect it from damage. In the decades that followed, the Reverso saw its evolution from that of an innovative sports watch created for British Army officers in 1931 to a beautiful Art Deco timepiece at home anywhere from the board room to the most exclusive dinner party. The back of the watch case, an enticing blank canvas, readily inspired the creation of custom art, from engravings to jewelencrusted lacquer work that fueled a vigorous collector’s market. In 1994, Jaeger-LeCoultre innovated again and moved in a bold new direction for the Reverso by creating a secondary watch dial that could display a second time zone, which also opened the door to day/night watch versatility. The maison outdid itself in iteration after iteration of the watch, creating dozens of Reverso models with an array of beautiful finishes. The creative minds at Jaeger-LeCoultre have more than met the challenge of offering dynamic dual-faced watches while maintaining a classical grace and horological excellence. To launch the 90-year celebration of that first model from 1931, Jaeger-LeCoultre is offering the Reverso Tribute Duoface Fagliano in burgundy dial, a limited edition release in only 190 pieces. It’s a stunning timepiece, and a fitting homage to the early sports watch. For the primary dial, the maison has included hours, minutes and an inset seconds dial. They chose a gorgeous burgundy lacquer paired with an 18K pink gold case, a callback to the years following the first Reverso’s release when several colorful dials were introduced. The applied golden indexes stand proud and bold against the highly polished burgundy, a striking contrast that adds to the overall impact of the dial. The reverse dial adds a second time zone and 24-hour day/night complication. This one aims to soften and texturize, replacing the symmetric lines, angles and bold-colored lacquer with a sophisticated clous de Paris guilloché in a striking silver. There is an echo here from the burgundy dial’s inset seconds, a circle that softens the otherwise geometric design, in the day/ night 24-hour indicator. The strap is another nod to the Reverso’s history, a combination of burgundy cordovan leather and canvas. Each strap is handmade, reputedly a six-hour process per strap, by the renowned Argentinian bespoke polo bootmaker, Casa Fagliano. The design invokes the styles and materials used in Fagliano’s summer polo boots, and dovetails the rugged feel of a sport watch with the versatility of a day watch, something Jaeger- LeCoultre does with confidence here. The manual winding Jaeger- LeCoultre caliber 854A/2 is made of 160 parts. The reverse dial which displays the second time zone and 24-hour display for day/night indication can be adjusted independently with a hidden quick adjustment slider that is revealed when the dial is released from the case, thus maintaining a clean design aesthetic. The movement has a 42-hour power reserve and is water resistant to 30 meters. 22 SPLIT SECONDS
